Austin City Limits Music Festival

a few weekends ago was one of my favorite weekends of the year...acl weekend! this year, acl weekend just so happened to also fall on the weekend that baylor played texas tech at the cotton bowl so blake and i split up for the weekend. my niece, olivia, bought blake's ticket and was able to come enjoy the awesomeness that is ACL.

day 1: we began with lunch at jimmy johns and checking out a cute new boutique in austin with my mom. then she dropped us off at zilker park. we saw: blues traveler, miike snow, the black keys, slightly stoopid, vampire weekend, and phish.

olivia and i on day one. watching blues traveler.

the black keys. soo good.

day 2: we went to lunch again with my mom at chuys. olivia is from mississippi and unfortunately for her they dont have chuys there so she wanted her fix. she didnt have to twist my arm too much ;) saturday we ended up meeting up with my friend michael from high school and some of his friends. we saw: lucero, manchester orchestra, broken bells, temper trap, lcd soundsystem, deadmau5, mia, and muse.

we met up with my sister at deadmau5 (how you randomly run into someone in the midst of 75,000 people i still dont understand.)

deadmau5. so fun.

day 3: we rode with michael to zilker and stopped at thundercloud subs on the way. yum. we met up with an old friend of mine from elementary/middle school and also with one of my besties laura (which i dont have a pic of bc apparently the only one is on her camera..oops). we saw: portugal. the man, robert earl keen, rebelution, the flaming lips, the national, and the eagles!!

we watched the acl with the flaming lips lead singer wayne coyne. he is a very interesting guy...

meagan, me, olivia, and michael watching robert earl keen. meagan, michael and i all went to elementary/middle school (and michael and i went to high school) together.

taking a break to eat dinner while listening to rebelution.

flaming lips. the lead singer wayne always comes out in his "space bubble" at his concerts. we were so close to it. very fun show but i was a little disappointed that they didnt play my favorite song of theirs.

and we finished off the perfect weekend with the eagles! (here is a little deja vu shot from when i saw them the first time back in june) i just love the eagles and of course they put on an awesome show.

tickets for next years acl go on sale tomorrow and i am SO anxious. they sell out realllllly quick and if i dont get them tomorrow not only will i pay $20 more per ticket but most importantly i will have to wait until the spring to get them! so wish me luck!!
